New Delhi:  Rumour mills are abuzz with speculation that TV actress Nikita Dutta who rose to fame with Sony TV's 'Ek Duje Ke Vaaste', might be seen as one of the participants in Bigg Boss 10.

Few days back, we had reported that Nikita was down with dengue and leptospirosis,  for which she was under observation at Lilawati Hospital.

But now it is being said that all those illness was nothing more than an excuse, to take part in Salman Khan's show.

Leading entertainment portal Tellychakkar quoted a source saying,"The entire bad health scenario seemed to be an alibi."

If reports are to be believed, makers of the controversial reality show have also approached 'Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai' actors Karan Mehra and Rohan Mehra.

Salman-Khan hosted 'Bigg Boss 10' is all set to hit the TV screens on October 16 this year.
